Movie Review: Is Hollywood reading for the love story of Jean and Lionel?
Summary: 4 Stars

Episode 20 finds Alistair (Philip Bretherton) back from the United States to tell Lionel (Palmer) and Jean (Dench) that an American television company is interested in doing a mini-series about their love story. After all, the dashing young British Army officer and the lovely student nurse who fell in love and lost contact with each other for almost forty years certainly hooked us. However, Lionel has to hurry up and write a treatment before having lunch with a Hollywood type.

Episode 21 has Jean and Lionel traveling to Hollywood to continue the talks about this mini-series. Jean keeps counseling Lionel to play it cool, so, of course, it is she who blows her top during the meeting with the wacky studio executive and his band of lunatics.

Episode 22 has our lovebirds back from Hollywood and suffering jet lag. Of course, Jean refuses to admit she is out of it and insists on dealing with the manager of her second office, who is so competent (and good looking) that Judy (Moria Brooker) and Sandy (Jenny Funnell) cannot stand her.

Episode 23 has Lionel trying to work on the mini-series with the help of two totally different secretarial assistants, both of whom were provided by that "Miss Ice Cubes," who runs Jean's second office. Meanwhile, Lionel's father and his new bride and in the hospital in his and her neck braces.

It is interesting at this point in the series that it is now Jean rather than Lionel who is the target of much of the humor, which always strikes me as odd since we are talking Dame Judi Dench here. Meanwhile, Judy has finally broached the nature of their relationship with Allistair. Apparently Jean and Lionel are comfortable with the relationship (there are actually several scenes of them in bed together), and it seems like they went from fighting the inevitable to total acceptance in between episodes.
